Synopsis: Young Coraline, relocated to a creepy new home feels generally ignored by her parents, and, left to her own lonely devices, discovers a doorway to an other-home where everything's peachy--food and attention are plentiful, toys are magic, and her other-father has even planted their massive garden with magical flowers that add up to the shape of her face when viewed from above. This alternate universe proves initially seductive, but it isn't long before sinister cracks appear in the facade created by her other-parents and Coraline finds herself at war with a very nasty creature.
